Beautiful

Beautiful ~ that's what you are.  This is a photo of the Valentine's Day card I made for my daughter.  Amazingly, the cut out word, the chandelier and the tree branch have been tucked away for almost 3 years.  They have survived through 2 room moves, a house move and then another 3 room moves.  How, I guess so they could be used for this card! of course. Debbie MR, if you are reading this, I made these at your house the very first time we met!  We used Cricut's Home Decor cartridge and we were just learning what a Cricut was. ☺
So once I decided what I was actually going to do with the images, the card came together quickly.  I glittered the chandelier using Pink Pailee Pixee Stix. (Debbie I got the glitter at that craft yard sale we went to!)  I layered the pink chandelier with a brown one we had cut out, Hooked it onto the branch and adhered them both to paper out of The French Country Stack by DCVW..  A gorgeous stack I found at Michael's. Lots of distressing was added and a large quantity of pearls.  I think it turned out Beautiful!

Cricut Birdie

Today's card is my (day late) submission for National Card Making Day. I've been staring at this cute little birdie who has been sitting on my desk for over a week and today is the day I challenged myself to use 'her'.  Both the bird and the scroll were cut out using my Cricut and the Home Decor cartridge.  The bird was cut three times so I could add a little dimension to her. And to add lots of dimension to her tail I put a dimensional under the base of her tail.

That's it for today, just a quick stop in.
